A Nuisance Abated.

An intolerable nuisance in the shape of
two-story barricade has been maintained
in front of the RECORD UNION Office for sew
eral days past, much to the annoyance and
disgust of peacably-disposed pedestrians
who preferred to use the walk to tramping
through the mud in getting around the
aforesaid unlawful obstruction. Especially
has this ten-rail with stake and rider J"
nuisance been obnoxious to the somewhat
numerous class, who, seeking with patri-
otic desire to honor the holiday season, in
vested in tangle-foot to reduce the sur
plus" and were too heavily loaded to tack
south by north to get around tenced-in
gilt-edged artificial stone walk. Beyond
this, a Just complaint has been filed that
the unsightly barricade fenced off and de
| Elected numerous pedestrians who, but for
| the nuisance aforesaid, would have turned
| into the beer saloon located next door but
one to the south, and made SUBJ
stantial investments as free traders"
| For this result it is not at all I'M
reasonable that the barricade has been de-
nounced By the proprietor of the saloon as
a new dogonned prohibition dodge to
| cut of his customers, without prohibition
law or any ordinance for that purpose first
made and provided. The matter has,
| however, been now amicably adjusted, and
a passage-way constructed through the bar
ricade, whereby pedestrians of all classes
can pass and repsss without molesta-
ton, and meanwhile inspect one of the
best artificial stone walks that has been
| laid down in the city.
| Moral: DISTRACTIONS necessary to protect
improvements OF public benefit are ex-
tremely desirable, and those necessary to
| preserve new stone walks should be erected
as thiekly and rapidly as possible on our
principal business streets of Sacramento as
every additional business front thus pro-
yided and ornamentcd tes.ifies to the enter
! prise OF propTietors and the substai ii
prosperity and growth Of the city.

raise funds sufficient to induce the pro-
jectors of the Electric Street Railway Com
pany to build their line along u street,
from Fifteenth to Twenty-eighth, thence on
Twenty-eighth street to Y street. The
builders of the road would, of course. go
the route that would pay them the best,
and M-street property owners who know
the value of such road must see to it that
1t passes their property, which would be
greatly enhanced thereby.

POLICE COURT.
A Stubborn Thief Gets 100 Days in the
Chain-Gang.

A Stubborn Thief Gets 100 Days in the
Chain-Gang.
The town is very quiet, and the number
of arrests by the police are not up to the
average. Two cases of petty larceny came
up before Judge Buckley Yesterday morn
ing. That of JDhn Sullivan was first
called, and he sharply entered plea of not
guilty. A trial resulted in his discharge.
William Morrison heard the charge of
burglary read against him. On motion-of
the City Attorney the charge was reduced
TO petty larceny, and the defendant said he
guessed he would have to enter a plea Of
guilty. Judge Buckley told him that he
would be allowed to enter whatever plea he
wished. The Court further stated that if
the defendant was going to act stubbornly,
plea of guilty would not be accepted, as
he did not wish Morrison to 90 about tell
ing persons that he had to plead guilty.
Morrison, however, insisted on entering
that plea. and the trial proceeded Wit
nesses testified to having seen defendant
going out of the Dewitt building with a
comforter under his arm, and also to hay
ing seen him try to dispose of looking
glass, which was stolen property. Morri-
son tried to make an excuse, but it was a
very bungling job. He would not tell
where the comforter was, and the Court
said for that reason he would make the
sentence a heavy one. All were of the
opinion that the charge of burglary could
be successfully sustained against him. The
Judgment was 500 or 100 days in the
county Jail

satisfaction of knowing that he performed
his duty faithfully, earnestly and well.
have known the General for twenty-five
years at least. | have known him as well
probably as any citizen of this State. I
know that he has always stood high among
the citizens of San Francisco, and the State
in general, and that whatever position he
has filled he has always done it creditably.
| am satistied-in fact know-that the
position he is now called upon to occupy,
that of Warden of San Quentin Prison,
that he will fiji it with the same ability and
earnestness he has filled every position
that he has occupied heretofore. l offer
the resolution, gentlemen.
WHEREAS General John MeComb has been Sc
lected as Warden for the State Prison at San
Quentin, and is about TO retire from the man
agement of the State Prison at folsom, the State
Board of Prison Directors, DESTROYS of express
ing their appreciation of his faithful attention
to duty, and his honest and efficient admins
tration of the Folsom Prison while under his
charge, do now resolve:
That the State is to be congratulated in having
an officer who not only possesses the attributes
of q keen and s9gaciOus business man, but com
bines with them also those rarer qualities of
executive ability, and Il command over men
which have made him a model Prison Warden.
The efficient and economical administration
of the prison under his charge during all the
years he has had control, the wonderful trans
formation he has wrought in changing bleak
hills into blooming gardens. willing hearts with
which the prisoners have at all times performed
their arduous task, and the perfect discipline
that is apparent even to the casual observer,
speak more cloquently than can human Ian
guage OF his zeal, his fidelity, and his devotion
to the pursuit in which he has achieved such
signal success.
In this work he has been seconded and ma
terially assisted by corps of able officers, who
have been imbued with the same laudaDle spirit
as has animated himself; notably among these
are Captain Chambers, Captain Murphy and
Captain Paul. who have been not only faithful
in the discharge of their duties, but have also
earned the good will of all with whom they
came in contact.
In this connection it is but just to say that the
guards have always complied with the strict
discipline in force, have always been diligent
In their labors, and they are entitled to much
praise.
ReSolped, That these resolutions be spread
upon the minutes, and copy thereof be deliv-
cred TO Warden McComb.
